Ensuring Europe’s energy independence is more critical than ever. Heat pumps play a pivotal role in enhancing energy security by harnessing natural energy from air, ground, or water, that requires only a small amount of driving electricity. They reduce Europe’s reliance on fossil gas imports for heating as they can be applied in homes, businesses, and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) invites you to a breakfast meeting on 24 April from 08:00 to 09:00, focusing on \u201cHeat pumps: plugging Europe\u2019s energy security gap\u201d in the context of the European Parliament\u2019s Own Initiative Report on EU Energy Supply Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Europe accelerates its green transition with initiatives like the Clean Industrial Deal and the Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act, heat pumps can play a crucial role in strengthening energy security, reducing costs, boosting competitiveness, and advancing sustainability. This is a key move to bolster Europe\u2019s energy sovereignty and global leadership in clean energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join us for a breakfast debate hosted by Member of European Parliament Thomas Pellerin-Carlin to explore this topic further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
